Hello,
At the time, I bought a GNS TMC receiver for my Mio P550. For more info about the GNS TMC receiver, please have a look at http://www.gns-gmbh.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=28&products_id=117.
Since this receiver has a mini-usb connection I'm wondering if it could work on my Tytn II. I found that it does charge my Tytn, the only question is how to get TMC working on my device. Does anybody know this? Can anybody help? Does anyone have some suggestions to try?
The software I'm working with is MioMap v3.2 or Route 66 navigate 7. This used to work on my mio p550, off course i prefer it on my Tytn II
Thanks for all help!!
Dennis
A response from GNS:
"thank you for your inquiry. Sorry the PDA HTC Tytn II has only a USB-Client connector. in this case the HTC Tytn II can´t use TMC-receiver with cable."
Is this true; don't they react like this to palm me off?
tnx

Hi,
I moved to the new TyTn II from a 8125 recently. In the past I was able to supply log in info on the 910 to connect via Bluetooth to my 8125 so tomtom could get it's plus services like real time traffic and other features. Once I moved to the Tytn II I can make the bluetooth link but I cant build a connection that pushes out to the internet over the phone. I can however surf just fine on the Tytn II and in fact have it's intermal tomtom Nav 6 GPS working just fine.
Has anyone been successful using the Tytn II to give a tomtom 910 the connection it needs? I'm on the At&T network.
Thanks
Hello everybody,
I have a question, maybe somebody can help me here?
I am using an Artemis and consider to buy a TYTN2. Is it worth to change? I know, this is a strange question but maybe somebody had a Artemis before and is now using a TYTN2.
I guess iGO will work on the TYTN2 as well, is somebody using this SW?
Thanx in advance,
Ralf
If you look at GPS, yes, unnlike the P3600 Trinity, you are ok with the Tytn II GPS: it has a working quick GPS program. According to GPSPassion.com, the GPS quality is significantly improved, equivalent to the SirfIII (which you have in Artemis). The unit is slightly fatter and heavier though. You also have no FM radio. I like the one-hand navigation possible through the jog wheel on the side and the ok button on the side, which opens the windows menu when pressed. The tilt is nice when you keep the unit on your office linked to the PC, because it's not lying flat on the desk, you can see on it very well. Also when you use it as an alarm clock near your bed. Last but not least: WM6 without overclocking...
funny that you visit a Kaiser/TyTN II forum and ask that question
iGO do work on the device ... it's basically the OS that you should referred to when dealing with SW
I use it without any problem ... infact, I preferred it over TomTom !!!
yes i know, sorry for that
i think i will go for the tytn2, i was just looking for opinions and for the confirmation that iGO is working without problems. i need iGO for eastern europe, tomtom is here not very strong in map availability
thanx to all
ralf
If the weight is not an issue for you
If you can survive to the lack of VGA screen for surfing...
Then go and buy one
It's all great !
I'm trying to set up traffic on igo 8 and TMC search returned negative results. Does anyone know if Kaiser supports TMC?
.....And yes I have searched the forum for this.

No, Kaiser doesn't have an FM tuner or interweb capability. And yes this has been answered before here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2211591&postcount=12

Thanks for the speedy response.
that being said is there an alternative that anyone know on how to configure traffic with Igo8 or to automatically reroute if im using google or something in the background.
You can use TMC with IGO but it would require you to get at bluetooth TMC receiver och a bluetooth GPS with integrated TMC but the ones I´ve found are quite expensive and not easy to find.
oh ok thanks cause i still been searching all over the net for one.

If you are in the UK, don't forget TMC is a paid service... unlike the rest of the world.
Okay I emailed the people over at GNS about the bluetooth TMC Transmitter that plugs into a cars lighter plug.
This is what I asked...
When will the GNS TrafficBoxplus FM9BT-C be available for sale, and is it compatible with the HTC Kaiser (AT&T Tilt), Igo 8 and TMC signals in the USA?
Thanks.
This was the reply I recieved.
Dear Mr. Gerado,
thank you for your inquiry. The ramp up time for production of the GNS TrafficBoxplus FM9BT-C will be in the end of october 2008. The GNS TrafficBoxPlus FM9BT is compaible with HTC Kaiser and works also with iGO8 (manual configuration). The GNS TMC receivers support the TMC service in the USA. But it depends on the navigation software (maps), if the received USA TMC data can decoded and used in the navigation software.
Best regards
Gerd Sept

Hi everyone,

It has an FM receiver with RDS decoder but not the TMC hardware. I have tried to but the radio on and then starting IGO and searching for the TMC receiver but it doesn't find one. So no possibility for it.
Thanks marco 899.
Does you have any suggestion about a good bluetooth TMC receiver i could use with igo 8 and htc diamond ?
Bah! That seems a bit stupid. If its got a GPS unit and an FM radio they might as well include the TMC bit as well. Or they could have at least used a GPS chipset that includes the TMC stuff.

It's all about licenses. TMC needs a license from GNS. That's why leadtek stopped producing gps receivers with builtin TMC.
I only put my original head phone on usb port and I found a TMC with diamond via IGO's automatic finder. It's fine but the reception of TMC's chanels doesnt work. I think that it is possible to do a bridge between FM radios ...

There is no need for TMC Hardware. TMC is done by some special RDS-Messages. Diamond is able to receive RDS 'cause it will show up the name of current station. So it will receive RDS-TMC, too.
You only need a software that will get the tmc messages and decode them to, lets say, opentmc and that's all.
are there some examples for an openTMC software?
If it turns out that waiting for the software TMC support takes too long I have an alternative proposal:
- it would be possible to buy a TMC receiver for a mere ~$100 and
- log the TMC messages in country. All of them.
- start a website
- write a program that periodically downloads the content of the website via 3G
- and feed a COM port that Igo or other navigation programs can read.
As far as I know (please correct me if you know an existing solution) there is no such site online.
How does it sound?
i have read this thread for Diamond and then i have found this other thread for Blackstone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=511838

Thanks dibbutz for bringing this to my attention.
It does work on the Touch Diamond, better than the TMC on the £1,000 Garmin in my Volvo.
There are three things that you ought to be aware of.
1) You need the headphones plugged in to act as a aerial.
2) It only works with a good signal, don’t expect it to work indoors without fiddling with the aerial.
3) The HyperGPS program remains working even when the program is closed. The only way to unload it is to do a soft reset. (Could have battery implications).
Internal TMC on Diamond is possible !!!

It works !

Wow that was hard
Search for GPS2Blue.
I guess searching isn't the IN thing this year.
